Marvel Television’s Ironheart will see Riri Williams get tangled up with Parker Robbins and, from what we can tell from the trailers for the series, will ultimately end up at odds with The Hood. However, Parker Robbins wouldn’t be The Hood without his magic cloak that, in the comics, tied him to the Dread Dormammu but it’s long been rumored that Ironheart would see a different dark entity take center stage. Now, fans believe that a recent social media post has confirmed the identity of The Hood’s dark benefactor.
In a post that confirmed that Ironheart will stream in two, three-episode pods, Marvel Studios seems to have hinted at Mephisto finally entering the MCU.
It’s long been rumored that Sacha Baron Cohen was set to portray Mephisto in Ironheart, however, some doubt about the identity of his character began to creep in after a concept art leak contained some mock ups that included Dormammu’s name. Social media believes that those rumors are confirmed by the red underline in the “M” in the Episode 5 title, “Karma’s a Glitch.”
Of course, Marvel could be trolling fans and preparing for another “Mephisto!” meme moment similar to 2020’s Great Mephisto Fiasco which saw the entire internet ablaze with theories that the character was set to appear in WandaVision. Haven’t we learned anything from WandaVision?
